I really think CGC just made a mistake with what numbers they chose for the grades. People just hate the number 9.5. I think the normal scale is 1 - 9.5 (Gem Mint). There are special cases for more pristine cards which are the 10's (somewhat like a black label). IDK if they should change it some Gem Mint is 10 and then the Pristine and Perfects get a new label. But the sooner the better I think.

The CGC Trading Cards Pop Report is Live!
kreativemente replied to PaulS.'s topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
Shop Now button needs some love as its pretty broad. But the Pop report is looking good so far. Would be nice if we can click individual cards and have it link to the High Res image of it so we can match certs with grades easier Edit: Actually that might cause fraud posts on eBay 🤔 -
So now Im wondering how often the pop report is updated. Because now that we have that, Those 40-50 are not in the Pop Report (yet). I've been scouring the Pop report and everyones claim of a mess ton of 10's doesn't seem to match up with whats in there. Can someone point me in the direction in the Pop Report where all these 10s are?? So it's either a placebo effect or people are lying. As for regrading 9.5's in hopes of 10s. I think that can be a good option if you have the money for it. Since its all still human eyes at the end of the day, may get lucky. I haven't tried cross grading any Pokemon cards so I have no idea the relation between the two.

Not sure how this passed Quality Control....
kreativemente replied to Sassums's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
Yeah you can send them back as Mechanical Errors on the Submission Form -
Is it the number that gets under everyones skin?? I wonder if it would be better if Gem Mint was was 10 on CGC as well instead of 9.5. That might be CGC's main downfall it seems. Wonder if that will change in the future 🤔 Do you have the numbers for how many BGS 10's of that card were graded in that time period ??

Population Report Tool
kreativemente replied to PokeCharles's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
Ugh. That is going to be terrible to guess unless we know the very first submission number. Will constantly hit roadblocks and errors or getting blocked from searching too much. 🤔 Thanks so much! -
Population Report Tool
kreativemente replied to PokeCharles's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
So started working on a scraping solution. Does anyone know the science behind the the Cert numbers?? I think it would be helpful on how they come up with these Cert numbers. It doesn't seem to just be in order. Also CGC blocks you from the Verify page after a few searches. So compiling all the data would take fooooooorever without using a Proxy server that changes every so amount of searches :/ -

I always check lol. No reason to wait, I'm not making content

Crazy eh. I dont think they are linked though. CGC's Engineering team may just be really bad, because they definitely have all the data. Just need to make a frontend for it. Unrelated to the Grading team Definitely going to attempt that scraping tool I spoke about months ago that I forgot about 😅

Gold charizard vs psa
kreativemente replied to JohnBurke's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
I can't tell Is that not just the seller putting it in a sleeve?? I thought you meant that they were sleeved inside the slab :/ -
Gold charizard vs psa
kreativemente replied to JohnBurke's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
PSA isn't losing ground, but thats dope. Is there an image of it?? Your link resolves to the ebay Homepage Edit: Are they selectively choosing which ones to sleeve or are all of them sleeved now?? -
When will CGC change its packaging??
kreativemente replied to kreativemente's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
Oh I was referring to the email response time, not the process itself. No clue how long that will take. I did send a Mew back once to be reholdered (Dropped and cracked it on my part, so I paid FYI) and it took about 3 weeks. IDK what kind of time table mechanical errors follow, hopefully the reholder turn around time O_O -
When will CGC change its packaging??
kreativemente replied to kreativemente's topic in CGC Trading Cards General Discussion
FYI to anyone who has this same issue, spoke with CGC folks and they directed me to use the new Mechanical Error submission on the new form. So just send them back that way instead of waiting a day or two for CGC to get back to you. -
UPDATE (10/13/21): FYI to anyone who has this same issue, spoke with CGC folks and they directed me to use the new Mechanical Error submission on the new form. So just send them back that way instead of waiting a day or two for CGC to get back to you. Link Here So I've finally had a submission returned with almost every card being scuffed up. At first I thought it was just dust, but after wiping it down it is indeed a scuff on the case itself. I remember forum members bringing this up months ago and this still seems to be an issue. @PaulS., is there a plan in the works for updating the packaging because this is really unacceptable especially after all this time. This is the packaging. How is this supposed to stop the cards from rattling around?? What about if styrofoam is too expensive or not eco friendly, that CGC places them in sleeves since the issue doesn't seem to be cracking but scuffing. Here are some of the damaged cases. The Steelix is after I cleaned the case. The other are before wiping it down.
